This whole album is awesome.

One of the first Depeche Mode songs I ever heard, and still one of my favorites.

This whole album is awesome.

Indubitably.

But then there's this:

But then there's this:


I have The Specials "John peel Sessions" in high rotation right now.
This rules - not even a tangled cord!

Well if we're on a Ska kick I'll just leave this here.

^^^^^^This was the blue print of my 80's life- the clothes, the music- it was Two Tone.

Two Tone was a great label. The This are Two Tone compilation is one of my favorite records of all time. I purchased it new back in the day. When CDs started replacing vinyl, I ditched most of my albums including This are Two Tone. As you can see from my posting last year, I got it back in the house. Madness Absolutely was one of the records I kept (Stiff Records import) and I listen to it often....

Purchased this album earlier this week and it's currently spinning on my turntable. I listened to this a lot back in college in the early/mid 1980s and recently found it at a local used record store in mint condition.

I saw The Beat (again) in Durango at the Ska Brewing anniversary party last year. What a great show! Skanked my ass off.

Hell yeah!
That & Dance Craze - we were so into Two Tone and all that meant.

What a fun time.

I saw Melt Banana at the Georgia amphitheater, they opened for Mr. bungle. I had never heard of them, they were the noise. Played about 60 songs in 30 minutes. But nothing about them sounded at all Ska, at that time.

After the show I rode around with mike Patton in the back of a rental box truck drinking beer and being thrown all over the place. Excellent choice

That sounds like an awesome time! Melt Banana is definitely not any one sound for certain... Charlie was pure experimental power violence noise stuff and awesome, everything since then has been all over the place in the best way possible. Haven't gotten to see them live yet... Threeoneg was such a fun label too. They had that Queen tribute album that had M.B., The Blood Brothers, Das Oath Weasel Walter... so ridiculous. M.B. did this song and it's perfect:

TURN UP YOUR BASS!!


Threeoneg did put out a couple of Paper Mice's albums more recently, hope they keep on that path.
